Description
This pamphlet was published by the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1937, it was timed to coincide with the coronation of George the Sixth in May of that year. The cover shows Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain, who were Conservative Prime Ministers in the late 1930s, in place of the Lion and the Unicorn on the Coat of Arms. The symbols seen on the shield, money, war, and authority, show what the C.P.G.B. thought the British Empire represented. "How is the Empire" are reported to be the last words of the previous King George the Fifth.
